Story behind the photograph

This photo of two cute little girls dancing on the Pyrmont Bridge is quite special for me. Firstly, because I rarely photograph children. This is mostly due to a social stigma attached these days to children photography. Secondly, because this photo breaks some social assumptions / stereotypes about Muslim women and photography. This family not only allowed me to photograph their happy girls but as you can see from this photo enjoyed the attention too.

Finally, it took me two months to find the memory card with this photograph. I was convinced I have either lost it or overwritten it. Luckily it was only in another camera, which I seldom use these days.
